Rocks handing Lewis-Parry a shot

Davis remains on the look for fresh signings at the Rocks

Scottish Rocks coach Sterling Davis is handing young British forward Chi Lewis-Parry a second chance at the BBL.

The 6'8" forward has signed a one-year deal after leaving Guildford Heat mid-way through last season.

Davis claimed: "I just saw a guy with size and physicality and I think that's something we lacked last year. We didn't have the depth to do that.

"If he brings those qualities, he'll give us a lot of quality minutes. And I'm looking for good things from him."

With just three weeks until the Rocks tip off the new campaign, Davis remains on the hunt for an additional centre for the Kelvin Hall outfit.

Having ruled out a move for ex-Rocks centre Ajou Deng, the Rocks chief is confident of finding an additional recruit.

The American added: "We really need some size, someone who can bang it inside.

"There's been so many times over the last few months when I thought: 'we've got a deal'. But then it's fallen through. But I'm pretty confident we can get something done before the start of the season."

The Rocks have already signed American pair Blake Shelton and Randy George, and Englishman Marc Pratt, as well as agreeing an extension with point guard Rob Yanders.
